  1. It could suck your SL soul out doing that. Luckily there's a potion available on the MP to return it, a snip at 650
  2. //--------------- default { touch_start(integer total_number) { list details = llGetParcelDetails(llGetPos(), [PARCEL_DETAILS_NAME, PARCEL_DETAILS_DESC]); llOwnerSay ( "Local Parcel Name:" + llList2String(details ,0) ); } }//--------------------- Stick this script in a prim. Add to worn the prim. Click the prim for result. From here - https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlGetParcelDetails Put the script in a hat or sumthin if you dont wanna look conspicious
  3. Ive seen this effect a lot when sailing but with the boats
  4. It's lag mostly. Quick prefs button has a bunch of sliders to help. Max avatars and Draw distance in particular.
  5. "Second Life will not be with us in the long term. Every day is a gift." Oooer missus. After 18 years SL is still going strong. Dont know of any other online 'game' that's lasted as long. I demand the game sees me out, and that'll only be a few more years. Carry on.
  6. Rebooting my router and modem is always a heart in mouth moment. It seems to take several minutes before anything works again. Several minutes of stone cold terror wondering if it's going to kick back in or if Ive killed everything forever.
  7. Belli has been a very successful venture for the labs. But swathes of Belliserians want to be able to shop there. C'mon LL, stay in the groove and make it happen.
  8. If you can afford an SSD hard drive, they are fast as can be. Best 'upgrade' I ever did. A hard drive as fast as RAM
  9. Mesh might be marvellous but prims and flexi prims sure still come in handy. Especially for use as the floor ! And ... earings !
  10. right click hud > more > more > reset textures. sumthin like that anyhoo'
  11. woot ! Finding help will leave you trapped in the game for many years, like a second life !
  12. I was lucky enough to stumble upon 'the shelter' when I was new too. It was brilliant with the instant line dance poseballs. And very friendly too. I wonder if it's still going. Anyway it certainly kept me logging in for more
  13. Fascinating thread thanks all. That SL has survived 18 years plus of computer change is remarkable indeed. In my youth I studiously learnt as much BASIC as my pea brain could cope with.. Little did I know some 20 years later it would help so much with tinkering about with LSL code, which these days is my favourite past time !
  14. Ive attempted to drag .jpg's and .txt's from desktop to avatar quite a lot does that count ? It never works btw
  15. After a busy RL morning of irritating chores and minor issues I came 'home' to this ... bliss
  16. Cheers folks. Turns out llGetUsername removes 'Resident' from the string output anyway. So parsing out 'Resident' is only needed if using llKey2Name to detect clickers name. That leaves me wondering what the llKey2Name string output would be on a non resident name, like say 'joe neon' or something. default { state_entry() { llOwnerSay("click for names"); } touch_start(integer total_number) { string display_name = llGetDisplayName(llDetectedKey(0)); string user_name = llGetUsername(llDetectedKey(0)); string legacy_name = llKey2Name(llDetectedKey(0)); llSay(0, "display name = " + display_name); llSay(0, "user name = " + user_name); llSay (0, "legacy name = " + legacy_name); } }
  17. Wrap your head around this one. At the speed of light time stands still, according to Einsteins theory of relativity. So as far as that photon is concerned, It may have left its sun 13.7 bil years ago from our relative viewpoint, but from its own view it arrived at the james webb instantly. Also this is of some concern- https://mashable.com/article/james-webb-space-telescope-meteoroid-damage-nasa
  18. I knew I should of copy pasted it at the time but I was chasing lltextbox info at the time
  19. the 'lost' script, somewhere in this forum thread, did just that, in a few lines of code. IF (surname = 'Resident') Say first part of name touched me. ELSE say display name touched me
